How long ?  I think this depends on environmental conditions, however I 
wouldn't 
expect too many OM-1s to have good original foam.  Replacement of the back 
seals and mirror buffers can be done by anyone with reasonable mechanical 
skills (there are instructions on the FAQ I believe).  If there is rotting foam 
on the 
pentaprism, I would recommend a professional to repair it.
